OMG this is the best morning (its 3pm) ive ever had oh my god thank you
im literally that girl lol
im really weird i laugh at messages like this oh my god i need to go to a mental hospital😬😬
ok i have no idea how people can label a person based on just one a post where there isnt even a word about racism transphobia etc lol?? just letting you know that i have a trans friend and two friends who are not exactly skinny so i dont think i can be called a transphobe or fatphobe?? although who knows??
and by the way yes i dont see gay people and black people on the street because i live in a russian village and it would be strange if i saw this every day (although i saw several black people once upon a time and even talked to one and i didnt seem to hate them🤔🤔🤔)
in any case ill just say that you have the right to represent characters the way you want and i have this right too surprise
in my case i imagine roxy exactly like this because well i liked her duh and thats why i draw her the way i like her and at the same time i dont hate other races and other people in general :D
FINALLY PEOPLE LIKE THIS NOTICED ME MY LIFE GOAL IS FULFILLED

haikyuu chapter 281 "pitons" & expectations
basically i wanna talk about how furudate crafts a Moment
early in the chapter hinata rotates into the front row and the commentators remind us of how hinata is a known point getter for karasuno—an offensive asset for them. there's the air that anything can happen when hinata is in the front row, which is emphasized again by kindaichi commenting about how hinata just needs to do something
but the rotation moves quickly. the panels are cluttered and full of action with a lot going on—inarizaki is continually pulling out new tricks, even baiting karasuno into a reach-over violation. everything builds to feel fast paced and like karasuno is hanging on by a thread. and before we know it's a few pages later and hinata is already rotated into the back row. furudate takes the opportunity to acknowledge his position in the rotation again
and just like how being in the front row comes with the expectation that hinata will do something, the opposite is true when he's in the back row. the expectation is that he won't contribute much to the team effort—he's their offensive wildcard after all, and he can't be as effective as a decoy in the back. so furudate has set the audience up not to expect much from him this rally.
the expectation of action switches instead to tsukki, who we have seen make several quick and decisive reads so far this match. and he continues doing so, making two more impressive reads of the ball and jumping to meet them both times as well—something that both the commentators and kuroo in the audience point out.
he's on top of his game and furudate wants us to know it. everything is perfectly set up for him to block this spike from osamu. except, he's wrong. osamu doesn't spike it, he sets it to aran.
inarizaki's cunning style of play is at an all time high, and karasuno's player who is arguably the best at reading the ball fell into their trap. aran slams the ball out of frame and it seems like it's over for this rally
but then
we get this absolutely stunning full page spread of hinata perfectly receiving the ball.
amongst all the clutter and action furudate dedicates the entire page to these simple, clean, and elegantly detailed panels that feel like a breath of fresh air and hope as hinata is exactly where the team needs him to be.
hinata, who is arguably the worst on the team at making reads, read the play better than even tsukki did.
hinata, who the audience/reader had no expectation would do anything this rally—who is literally absent from every single page between the one where he rotates back and now.
he's been completely out of sight, out of mind for a page and a half, and now we're bombarded with these six cells depicting one action as hinata comes in and does what no one expected
but at the same time, it isn't unearned. hinata has spent months building up to this moment. practicing, studying, moving his body to match the path of the ball. furudate has been crafting the narrative to reach this moment for months and months, and that's what makes it so satisfying. we should know it's coming, everything has been leading to it, and yet furudate manages to keep us surprised when it does, by briefly focusing our attention elsewhere right before it happens
this is it, that page is the peak of hinata's major volleyball moment. but furudate doesn't end it there, they let us and the characters sit in it just a little bit longer
we've seen the height of the action of the receive itself, we get to be still and in awe with the characters, and then furudate emphasizes it again by telling us the importance of the receive
before we begin to transition away from the peak of the action and into the high of the emotional impact as kageyama looks up at the arc of the ball
and says "nice dig."
we finally get to see hinata's face and it confirms to the audience that yes, he felt it too. his teammates, the people watching back in miyagi, kageyama, hinata himself, and us as the reader, we all felt this moment together. we all earned it alongside him.
the months of buildup, the emphasis in this chapter of hinata's place in the rotation, then the misdirects of action—it all manipulates our expectations to be in the right mental state for the sudden harsh cut into slo motion as we get to float in the emotion along with everyone.
it's exceptionally well done.
and instead of letting it fade, furudate ends the chapter there, letting us all sit back and just soak in the catharsis
